but worth the wait. On Saturday my husband and I headed for Santa Barbara to see Eddie Vedder at the Santa Barbara Bowl. I know we already saw him once this week but that's how my husband rolls. Anyway, while watching the news the night before, we discovered the Royal Newlyweds were going to be at the polo match in Carpenteria. Knowing that information we decided to leave early the next morning because to get to Santa Barbara we would have to pass by Carpenteria. Well let's just say that we slowly crept by Carpenteria. It should have taken us 1hr and 45 min. to get to Santa Barbara. Instead it took 2hrs. and 30 min. That was so rude of them to hold up traffic like that. Didn't they know my husband and I had a hot date that didn't involve sitting in traffic all morning? What can you do?

Like I said it was worth the wait. It was a gorgeous day in SB. We walked State St., looked in a few shops, got some lunch and of course dessert. At about 5:00 we headed for the venue.

On our way to the concert. Looking down State St.
We had to wait in line for about a half hour before they let us in. Upon entering we ran up a steep hill to the merchandise line to get a poster. Amongst other things, my husband has a huge concert poster collection. We waited around some more until they let us go to our seats. The Santa Barbara Bowl is one of the most beautiful venues. It's outdoors, surrounded by tall trees and lush greenery. I love sitting under the stars listening to music. If you haven't been to a concert there you need to go. Add it to your bucket list.
My pictures came out much better this time because I snuck in my real camera. The rent-a-cops were pretty strict about not letting people take pictures. I waited for the last song and then went on a photo frenzy. Shame on me! =)
